Answer:

x=2.5 or x=-4

Step-by-step explanation:

factorisation= factors:1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20 (only the positive factors)

We will use the factors 4 and 5.

=(2x-5)(x+4)=0

2x-5=0   || x+4=0

2x=+5      || x=-4

x=2.5  or x=-4

Answer:

x = 5/2, -4.

Step-by-step explanation:

2x^2 + 3x - 20            

NOTE:  2 * -20 = -40 so we need 2 numbers whose product is - 40 and whose sum is + 3.  These are + 8 and -5, so we write

= 2x^2 + 8x - 5x - 20     Factor by grouping:

= 2x(x + 4) - 5(x + 4)

= (2x - 5)(x + 4)

so x = 5/2, -4 are the roots.

Solve the equation for x, where x is a real number (5 points):
Aleonysh [2.5K]
Subtract sqrt(3) to both sides so that the equation becomes -3x^2 + 7x + 2 = 0.
To find the solutions to this equation, we can apply the quadratic formula. This quadratic formula solves equations of the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0
                             x = [-b ± √(b^2 -4ac) ] / (2a)
                             x = [ -7 ± √((7)^2 - 4(-3)(2)) ] / ( 2(-3) )
                             x = [-7 ± √(49 - (-24) ) ] / ( -6 )
                             x = [-7 ± √(73) ] / ( -6)
                             x = [-7 ± sqrt(73) ] / ( -6 )
                             x = 7/6 ± -sqrt(73)/6
The answers are 7/6 + sqrt(73)/6 and 7/6 - sqrt(73)/6.

y=2/3x

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx+b

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

y=2/3x

here the y-intercept is not written in the equation because it's 0

to make a chocolate ice cream you need about 3/8 pounds of chocolate how many pounds of chocolate will you need to make 4 batche
marin [14]
Well since you're using 3/8 and you need to make 4 batches, you need to multiply 3/8 with 4 it would equal 12/8 or 1 4/8 (I could be wrong but this is my answer hopefully this helps) :) <span />
